Simpson Supports Local Teams
It was a great week for local sports last week, with a fantastic night being had on Wednesday supporting York City Football Club against their rivals Hartlepool. It was great to see so many employees there and some of our clients came along to join us too. The game kept us on our toes the whole night but York finally secured the win with a last minute penalty, full time score York 3 - 2 Hartlepool.
We also continue our support for York Knights who at the end of the 2025 season were promoted to the ‘Super League’.
For the 2026 seaon we are sponsoring half back Danny Richardson.
Danny, who joined York Knights in August 2025 on loan from Hull KR has now signed a permanent contract with the Knights for 2026 and we are proud to sponsor him.
Thursday saw the opening match to the 2026 Super League season with York Knights taking on the current Super league Champions Hull KR.
It was just the start to the season York Knights could wish for with the full time result, York Knights 19 - 18 Hull KR.
A huge congratulations to the whole team, we can't wait to see how the rest of the season unfolds.

Simpson supports 'Ash Family Row'
At the beginning of the year we made the commitment to sponsor the Ash Family Row, a fundraising challenge undertaken by the Ash family Charlotte, Camilla, James and Henry who are rowing 3,000 miles across the Atlantic Ocean in memory of Robert Ash, their husband and father, who died by suicide in September 2023.
Their goal is to raise significant funds for the bereavement‑support charity Suicide&Co. They will take on the ‘World’s Toughest Row Atlantic’ in December 2027, travelling unsupported from La Gomera (Canary Islands) to Antigua, aiming to become the first complete family unit to complete the crossing. The challenge is both a tribute to Robert and a mission to ensure others bereaved by suicide receive vital counselling and support.

St Leonard's Completes
What was once the former B&M site at Clifton Moor and redeveloped by Marrtree Investments into Marrtree Business Park, has now been fully fitted out across two units for St Leonard’s Hospice, creating a new donation centre and retail store for the charity.
The works included the installation of new mezzanine floors in both units, with interconnecting openings formed at ground and mezzanine levels. Unit 1 was configured to house offices, welfare facilities, a canteen, hot‑desk workspaces and a meeting room with folding doors, alongside ground-floor racking space and a new curtain‑walled entrance. Unit 2 provides additional storage, new racking and the main retail area with a canteen formed from new structural steels.
Firewalls have been constructed around staircases and the meeting room. M&E installations comprise lighting, fire alarms and CCTV systems. All areas have received full decoration and floor finishes, with carpet and vinyl on the mezzanine levels and a protective sealant applied to the ground-floor concrete.
The centre is looking to open in July.
